Excellent

Revisado: 04-19-17

Very in depth discussion on "Justification" which is the basic belief of Protestants in that Sola Fida or faith alone is all that is needed. Fine showing of how Protestantism is a spin off of Catholicism not the other way around and that orthodox Protestants and Catholics are closer in beliefs than not in that both believe in the trinity, faith, grace and so much more.

Jesus of Nazareth

Revisado: 02-16-17

This was a provocative and thoughtful piece that provided great understanding of the the backdrop of history, the Roman Empire, and why the time of Jesus coming was perfect. The world climate was perfect for he coming of the Christ child.

This was the best in depth accounting of the prodigal son I have ever read and heard equal to Saint John Paul the Great. Wonderful!

Glorious Saints

Revisado: 08-03-16

Keeping in mind this book was written in the late 1500's, I would consider this the still be relevant today in the need to and how to pray. The depiction of women is portrayed of the time it was written but the message of God our Father is timeless. Excellent audio reading.

A must read

Revisado: 07-30-16

This is another fantastic book by Father James Martin SJ, and is powerful in telling the stories of saints I had not heard about along with some I had. He brings home the reason why we get to know the saints and how each of us are potential saint and need to desire it. All of his books are wonderful and the beauty of his Jesuit training is woven throughout all his writing, including this book. A must read.

Completely life changing

Revisado: 07-19-16

This book finally gave me the essence of Ignatius spirituality in a dynamic yet practical way. As a Catholic I was, so I thought, mature in my prayer and discernment, yet this book completely revamped and changed my spiritual direction and faith and, therefore prayer life. As a Protestant convert To Catholicism I was well schooled in the Bible but was constantly challenged by what they meant by having a "personal relationship with God." This book brings Saint Ignatius Spiritually to life and provides the reality of actually experiencing "a personal relationship with God" in a very real and dynamic and interactive way. This book in tandem with Saint Therese of Lisieux's Autobiography "The Story of a Soul" will literally be life changing, or rather, soul changing.

Absolute must read

Revisado: 07-14-16

Of the three great Divine Mercy Saints (Saints John Paul the Great, Saint Faustina, and Therese of Lisieux) it is impossible to consider one read better than the other. However, Saint Therese of Lisieux Autobiography can buoy the most desolate of souls and brings home how our own pride stands in the way of our holiness and fulfillment of God's Will. Beautifully narrated and makes you unable to stop listening.
